Friday night and Cisco had a new toy. He'd set up the playstation and had ordered a pizza for his new household. What better way to break the ice really. Everyone liked pizza. Kid Cisco really liked pizza. He left the door open so George could join them as well when he wanted to. He wanted to do something fun, not just work for once. He was actually going to have a weekend, damnit. He'd even briefly considered ice skating. Maybe he'd pass the idea onto Stiles and see what happened with it. It was kind of a christmas thing without being too over powering maybe. Plus he hadn't done it in forever.

He realized he needed hobbies. Ones that weren't work. Stiles on more than one occasion had told him he worked too much, and he was starting to agree. He hadn't had a real night out in a while again. Probaby a bad sign.

Cisco made quick notes and then rolled his eyes as he stuck the pencil behind his ear. "Mmmaybe." His response to Stiles getting to see the weapon soon. He was still internally cringing at the thought of anyone else in his system. "I guess I could try to be a little less paranoid. But after Jacen touched it the first time I had to do a complete overhaul for my own sanity of the system itself." He shrugged casually and sat down beside him with the second controller. "I've been dealing with some stuff since I got my hands fixed. Anxiety from it. That kinda thing. It's been happening a bit less though lately, I'll take less." He shrugged. "Nothing yet, I don't know what's good on this system for two." He paused for a minute to explain a little further about the injury. "When my abilities get screwy it's like not being able to see. Or feel properly. It messes with everything since it's tied to my nervous system." He watched the screen as different games showed up, it was even still on the original blue boring home screen.

"Why? Did he mess it up or something?" he asked, genuinely curious. "What exactly was there to ben anxious about?" He understood being anxious while being hurt. He didn't understand staying anxious after the healing had happened. "I get that, but you were still being kind of meh with us even after you healed." He leaned back and waited for Cisco to buy some guys or do whatever it was that he was doing.

"No, he didn't." Cisco shrugged. "I just got kinda paranoid. Both he and Morgan had seen a lot. My job revolves around secrecy back home and being able to keep a secret. If I don't take it seriously nobody would trust me. People with powers are treated differently where I'm from, and it's my job to protect their information and stats." He shrugged as he bought a few different avatars, and would mess with them later. "GTA is two player?" He commented off hand by scrolling through more games. "The powers took a while to correct even after the physical injury was healed. It did something to me. Something felt wrong, I only figured out how to correct it recently. I had to rebuild and recalculate the coordinates of this Earth. It took a long time actually. I still don't entirely know where we are but I can see again by having done that. With my abilities I mean. With that my brain is less...scrambly? I can focus now. Nothing is going to randomly happen now. I'm finally fully in control. Or at least ninety nine percent in control. Random scares me." So he acted cagey. "I didn't want to put you off too. When people find out about me they tend not to want to be around me." He admitted finally. "I don't blame them." There were times he didn't like his powers. They made people uncomfortable.

Stiles listened as Cisco spoke. He got it, he did, but none of them were home. Things were different here. "You're not home, though. You're here in some other universe where everyone seems pretty open about stuff."

He watched Cisco mess around with icons. "Mortal Kombat is two players. So are those Lego games if you want something laid back and goofy."

He glanced over at cisco as he explained the aftermath of the injury. He wondered why he didn't just tell them about any of that. "Random isn't always scary." He stared at Cisco for a moment before he pushed him. "If I didn't want to be around you, I would have left you alone in the apartment the moment I thought you were too strange for me." He paused for a moment before asking, "You're really down on yourself, aren't you?"

"Old habits are hard to break. And it gives me a sense of purpose. Being the one they rely on." Without purpose, what was the point? He finally chose some random anime icon, it wasn't that exciting. "Both?" Why not try both games, it wasn't like he had to pay much for rent or had other money responsibilities there. There were some nice things about Goodland, he managed to save a ton of money from working since it was basically just his needs, and he didn't drive a car.

Cisco let both games download, it was going to take a minute. He fidgeted slightly with one of the joystikcks on the controller and shrugged. "With my powers random can be terrifying." He admitted awkwardly before looking up at the download progress again and giving a little smile at the nudge. "You'd be one of the few who stuck around once they found out what I can do." He glanced over at that question and thought about it for a minute. "I never wanted to be a meta. I've never been.... comfortable. I don't want a cure or anything, I just.."He didn't know how to complete that sentence. "I've been called a curse. Being injured recently brought all that back up again. The guy I was with..at the end before he went away he found out could potentially know everything about him without him telling me. He didn't even want to be around me. I can't blame him." He still cared about him, and missed him but it hadn't done any favors to his confidence.

"Ah." He really didn't know what else to say. "Okay, both it is then." He wasn't the one paying for the games. It was up to Cisco since it was his system.

Stiles set the controller down next to him since he wouldn't need it for a bit since it took a minute for the games do download. "I doubt that since it seems like none of us are from normal places." It still sometimes blew his mind how open people were here. "You're not a curse. Don't see how you could be." He once again wasnt too sure what to say to that since he did't know the entire story because he was pretty sure there was a lot more to that then what was being said. "Well, he's not here now. Time to move on."

Cisco was unbothered by the purchase of both games. He didn't tend to flaunt it, but he was pretty well off. "No, apparently not." He responded as he waited for the games to download too, giving them a look of boredom as they took forever. He'd have to remedy that at later time when he didn't have company. His internet speed was doing a pretty good job, but he wanted it to do better. He'd have to do some research.

"Seems like it."" In response to the comment about being cursed. "I've been called it a few times. It's stuck, I'm trying to forget it but the recent events have brought all those things back.." He frowned a little and picked up the controller again just for something to fidget with "I'm trying. I went out the other night. " He gave a forced smile, it obviously didn't go great. "Never again on my own."

"Which events?" There had been quite a few and Stiles wanted to make sure he was on the same page as Cisco. "You know, you're not the only one whos been called things. We all have. You just can't let them take over your life or you will never have a life."

He looked over at Cisco. "How come? What happened?" There was no way he was going to let Cisco give him a little tid bid like that and not give him the full story of what happened.

"The maze." He didn't want to go too deeply into it. So he left it at that. They'd all been recovering from it, but that was the one he meant. "I know, it's just..easier said than done. I've never been comfortable in my own skin, add powers and that feeling just got worse over time." He shrugged a bit. "People here are starting to help though, lately I haven't felt as bad." He was finding his place slowly.

A pause as he glanced over at Stiles and then down at the remote. "Some random guy wanted to buy me a drink..he touched me." Cisco indicated the small of his back, skin to skin. "I sort of froze and dropped my current drink everywhere. Including on him. It was..not smooth at all." The opposite of smooth. The dude looked like he pissed his pants from where the drink splashed him. He hadn't been impressed.

"Ah, right. I wanted to make sure." Other things could have happened and he wouldn't have known. "But if you don't try then yeah, everything seems easier said than done."

Stiles listened as Cisco told him what had happened. "That's it? He touched your shoulder and you freaked out." That sort of sounded a little extreme and he really had no idea what to say. "You'll just have to try again or get used to being alone."

"I know. I've been trying not to think about it.." It helped staying busy. "I won't have time to after Stark's wedding." He shrugged, honestly looking forward to having responsibility at SI to take care of things. It wasn't all on him, but he was going to be taking over all of the tech for a couple weeks. It'd be a good distraction.

"Back, he stuck his hand under my shirt. When people touch me I never know if I'm going to see their lives or not. I'm not used to being touched anymore. Not since I got powers. It's a shot in the dark whether I'll see their entire lives or not. I usually just avoid being touched, when it happened it..startled me. I didn't expect it." The last thing he wanted was to be alone. He was tired of it.
